I have 2 Eheim 2217's to get rid of. They filtered my 55 gallon tank for about 8 months. One has a Hydor ETH300 heater plumbed in the intake line. I also have a fluval 404 that came with a 75 gal I just bought. $75 shipped for the 2217 without heater $100 shipped for the 2217 with ETH300...

I am setting up a new tank, and was painting the background tomorrow - planning to move the tank upstairs and add water this week. My plans were kicked into high gear tonight when someone said they had 100lbs of livesand for me, already pulled and in a few buckets I want to keep the livesand...

I searched, but didnt find this. I cant find aragonite sand here for under 20 bucks a bag. Would it provide the same buffering if I added CC to my sump and used silica based sand in the tank? I have 75LBS of CC in my freshwater tank that I plan to break down this weekend.

I thought I was living proof that plecos and demasoni can live together. For the past 6 months Ive had around 20 demasoni, 6 yellow labs, and 2 plecos (one rubberlip, one red devil) in a 55 gallon tank. I also had 2 lake tanganyika cichlids that I inherited living in there. last month I...

I have an african butterfly fish, had him a few months now. he never EVER left the surface of the water. Fed him last night, did a PWC last night also and he was there the whole time Tonight I go to feed the fish, and he is GONE! I have glass tops with a small space in the back for filter...

I just wanted to say Thanks to this forum for helping me get started on my tank. I started with a 55 gal cichlid tank and I dont think I want to keep trying plants in there. They are just much happier in a more natural environment. so I picked up a 29 gal tank, moved my pressurized CO2...

I am heavily medicating my tank with Metronidazole. I am also leaving the lights off to help keep the fish calm. This will be for about 4 days, or until my fish start eating and acting normal again (or they all die, god forbid) Are there any measures I should take for my plants? I have a 29...

I asked this question on another forum but figured this might be a better place to ask. i have a question about my setup. currently I am running an eheim 2217 and an AC110 filter on my 55, as well as a small powerhead near the top that has the hose attached, which creates bubbles (adjustable...

anyone tried 3M ColorQuartz as a substrate? I have heard good things about it but wanted some personal experiences, if anyone has any. I am currently running crushed coral in my cichlid tank and as much as I like the buffering, Id like to run something that is A) easier to clean and B) darker...

Rubbernose Pleco is doing something that drives me nuts. I hear a sloshing around, then find him in the output of my AC 110 filter. he jumps up there, where is eyes/body are out of the water, but his mouth is in the running water of the filter. He stays just long enough for me to go get the...

I have some strange floating fuzz in my tank. it looks like brown dirt specs with white fuzz growing from it. there are a few balls of it that float around, and never seem to get caught up in the filter. anyone have any idea what these could be?

I took these pics tonight and I am wondering if some of you guys/girls can look and tell me what settings I may want to adjust to make these better. I am using a canon S410 point and shoot 4MP. I set it on the highest resolution. I set the iso speed to 200, because 400 is unusable on this...

I am out of town right now, staying in a hotel (Ottawa, Canada). I am waiting for a delivery of fish at home, that will be there Friday when I return. Last night, I dreamt about fish! Just basic stuff....how I want the tank to look, what the new fish will be like, etc...nothing sick or...

I am very close to adding fish, and based on how I want my tank to look, i have decided I want demasoni and yellow labs I have seen/heard so many conflicting reports so I wanted to know if anyone had first hand experience with these guys. Ideally, i would like to have 5 yellow labs and 5...

Just wanted to say hi. My wife just got me a 55G kit for my Birthday and I am thrilled! I have been reading here regularly for a week or so now and it seems like I can make this as easy or difficult as I want! I started off on the wrong foot. Stand she got me was missing a piece...no big...
